Introduction to Projectmates

Richardson, TX — March 27, 2015 — Systemates, Inc. is proud to announce Conn's HomePlus as one of its newest clients to implement
Projectmates, a retail industry leader in construction program management software. With an extensive amount of locations spread across the
Southern United States, Conn's needed construction project management software capable of effectively coordinating its construction projects.
After implementing Projectmates, Conn's HomePlus has seen a significant improvement in its workflow.

Projectmates allows Conn's to streamline project financials by consolidating all budget, commitments, and expenditures into a single source of
truth. Everything from contracts, change orders, to invoices and pay applications can be electronically approved by multiple users in and out of
the office in a matter of hours, not days or weeks. What's better, because the construction program management software is collaborative, GCs,
consultants, and vendors can enter pay requests directly in the software, cutting down work for Conn's. Combined with an extensive array of
reporting tools, senior management has access to real-time program financials like never before.

According to Dawn Young, Conn's Real Estate/Construction Coordinator, a key factor in choosing Projectmates was improved and controlled project
visibility. Projectmates delivers this in spades, allowing Conn's to distribute workload across its many team members while also controlling access
and visibility to general contractors, architects, vendors, and other project collaborators. For example, drawings, RFIs, and submittals can be
exchanged effortlessly between the GC, CM and design consultantsâ€”all of which are supervised by Conn's.

"I love Projectmates so much better than your competitors!" said Ms. Young. Projectmates' highly configurable access rights, combined with streamlined
workflows, have received extremely positive feedback from the Conn's team for its efficiency and ease of use. The software not only received resounding
feedback from Conn's but from vendors associated with the construction projects as well. This is due to Projectmates' ability to integrate all relevant
parties in the construction project, allowing vendors to access a project as easily as an architect or contractor would.

All project data, including closeout documents, is then carefully archived in Projectmates for future use and transition to Facilities department post
construction. Any financials, documents, and photos that were submitted into Projectmates will be accessible for years to come, ensuring that Conn's will
always be able to find accurate project information with just a couple clicks.
